파르티니코 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

The climb along the paved Way of the Cross, which is mostly car-free, takes you steadily uphill. From here you can already enjoy great views of the surrounding hills and wind turbines that dominate the panorama. Once you reach the top, you will be greeted by the imposing ruins of the 11th century castle. A real highlight is the active church of SS. Maria del Alto, which is integrated directly into the old walls. It is a fascinating interplay of history and living faith. The view from above is definitely worth the trip - the vastness of the landscape below you, the small villages in the distance and the gentle breeze make the visit perfect for a break with a view. The old ruin has retained some of its charm over the centuries, and the walk around the castle can be easily captured on camera.

Where is it

Small pre-Greek cave burials, the locality called Manico di Quarara refers to ancient treasures found in large vases with handles (hence the origin of the name) of which the necropolis was full.

The wood of Santa Venera contains many surprises, including the Manico di Quarara Necropolis, the White Grotto and the medieval church known as the "old house".

The "Funtanazza" is a medieval water reservoir. It was waterproofed with a mixture of earthenware, pesto and mortar.

Magnificent view

Very long and panoramic tour with good altitude difference. Great workout

Two ancient cisterns have been dug in the middle of the forest, in the midst of many piles of stones like the remains of old houses.
